tesla is berlin's laboratory for media art. as well as this, tesla offers performance spaces and discussion forum scholarships in the context of b>project residencies. these give space to the interdisciplinary relationship between art and media and facilitate working processes at the interface between old and new media.

these up to half-year project residencies, are planned with the artists and the producers together and can take very different shapes - from the allocation of an studio through to intensive support of technical development and the presentation of completed work. in the six studios artistic productions are prepared, interfaces developed or exhibitions prepared.

tesla wants to facilitate open and process-orientated works with the project residencies. artistic research rather than the finishing of a piece is foregrounded. the working process is introduced to the public through the salon talks and in an open studio set-up. interested visitors can experience the work in progress and discuss it with the project planners.
